Where has Special Needs gone?

[magso]

I cannot find it in the topics list?

[monstermansmum]

I was just wondering that!!! Its on my list of topics but not on the page title-it just says 'children'.??????

[VJaybigpants]

I've been on and off here all day today and only just noticed it!!!

[monstermansmum]

sorry-its in my shortcuts but comes up as children!

[ICANDOTHAT]

It's been given it's own Board

[monstermansmum]

err i'm abit thick! what does that mean?

[coppertop]

It used to be under the Parenting section on the topics page but now there's a section called Special Needs and it's been divided up into Children, Teens, Education etc. Basically you just scroll down on the topics page.

[monstermansmum]

I dont have that! I had the SN page saved in my favourites so i dont know how to do anything else!!! oooooh not happy. Will have to re learn what to do now

it looks like a work in progress to me, maybe tech hasn't finished it yet.

[JustineMumsnet]

Sorry it's a balls up - we have created a new area and children is just one of the topics but for some reason the others aren't working/showing. Now BigTech's gawn - we'll try to track him down soonest...

[monstermansmum]

youre right 2shoes-I emailed them and they said that they had separated the topics within SN but it wasnt working properly at the moment.

[coppertop]

Monstermansmum - If you follow this link here to the Talk topics page ou can scroll down the list until you see Special Needs on the left-hand side. Click on the words 'Special Needs' and it should come up with the new SN topics.

where did children come from?!?!?!

(as in the topic, I know the basics )

[coppertop]

Poor BigTech. He'll never be allowed out of his shed again.

[Flamesparrow]

Justine - is it going to just say "children" etc all the time, or will it be "special needs children"?

A lot of people just click from active convos and won't realise it is SN stuff

[2shoes]

how exciting though a shiney new teens topic.

[bubblagirl]

oh no i have only just realised does that mean there is no special needs anymore just children as i like the crowd in special needs lol and no one will know where to go for help on special needs subjects

[JustineMumsnet]

You make a very fair point Flamesparrow - we're going to have to rename these topics aren't we? Double balls up!

[Flamesparrow]

If you want to employ me to work from home, then I can point out these things beforehand to make less work for you

[LollipopViolet]

I like that we have our own board now, and maybe I'll fit nicely into the teen bit (for this year at least...20 in December eeek!) But I wish there was a notice on the top of the page or something, I've just panicked!

[2shoes]

is sn still opt in?

[Flamesparrow]

would assume though - no new random posts have popped up in children

[Deeeja]

Found it!

Justine, is someone going to be separating out the threads over time? At the mo there are none in education.
